Abstract

Erythema multiforme and Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis are separate diseases. Recent evidence suggests that they have different etiologies and require different treatments. This article provides an overview of the two conditions with emphasis on the differences between them. An outline of the diagnosis and management of the diseases is included.
